Abstract

This work reports the hole conductivity data of growing AgI film on silver both for the thicker (5500 to 30 000 Å) and thinner (<6000 Å) ranges at about room temperature. Hole conductivity has been estimated through tarnishing studies of silver in iodine atmosphere and estimation has been based on the fundamental equation of Wagner relating the rate constant and the conductivity of the film. It is revealed that the thinner films show a higher hole conductivity than that of the thicker films under similar temperature and iodine pressure.
